Huxley wrote a letter to Orwell saying that his book was pretty much garbage, except the doublespeak part, which everyone always seems to dismiss lol.

He is pretty thicc admittedly. People were simping when Kim Yo-jong would assume power, but she doesn't look like a massive cuddly teddy bear. Pedestrian tastes in authoritarian thirst traps, I say!

I always imagine my leader Queen Dysnomia to be attractive by demon standards, but pretty scary by human standards. She's a very regal woman with a commanding presence, almost like Ultimecia from FF8 (yes i had to use that example) or Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty

I will make the claim that I'm the one single nation in the entire NS to be the most justified in putting anime waifu into my flag.

Haha, no. That's me.

I picture her as like a Tiefling from Dungeons and Dragons, but more overtly demonic looking, taller and more imposing

Okay now this is a bombshell cliche: nations that use anime pictures... without crediting the artist.

people on threads like What is unique about the AN when they see an AN with an anime flag always say Anime flag

by **Diaboland** » Tue May 10, 2022 3:09 pm

Cliche:
Nations that claim to be one thing (like a "magical, ancient kingdom") only to be something else entirely (some ancap stellar empire with hard sci-fi)... With factbooks that are either "outdated" for the current year of the nation (due to covering the past but barely touching the present) or are simply hilariously scant with no real source of a proper "current" year ("[Leader] was elected in 2019... Still in office! Oh and then there was that debate in like, 2025, which was a long while back!")

Kek.

But really though, those nations are a little annoying, especially when you have games like "BN trains ANs soldiers" and then all you have for info is that the military exists and they have guns... But then the military history section shows them with muskets, but the nation history section then goes into detail about how they managed to put people on Mars or something.

by **Gandoor** » Wed May 11, 2022 2:23 pm

This is why my (not really actually updated anymore) general overview factbook has the first line telling you what the current year is and the main page of Gandoor's wiki has the current year in-canon as well.

Honestly I try to point at a current year, though afaik I should probably do that in one of the bigger factbooks I have, just to make it easier.

Granted, the vast dispatches and factbooks I already have seem to point at a period in time around 2020-2024...

... Eh, still setting a standard year regardless.
